BUCKLE FOR RAZOR-STROPS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 358,861, dated March 8, 1887.

Application filed May 11, 1886.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THEODORE A. KooI-is, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Razor Strop Holders, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention has for its object to provide a device for suspending and removably securing to the wall one or more razor-strops in ready position for the barbers use; and it principally consists of a swiveled buckle having an angularly-bent tongue that provides room for holding three (more or less) strops, either side of either one of which may be used without disengaging the other strops, all as will be hereinafter more fully described, and specifically claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a perspective view of the holder, and Fig. 2 a vertical cross-section through its center with three strops coupled therewith.

Corresponding letters in both figures of the drawings designate like parts.

A denotes the frame of the buckle, being rectangular, with an eye in the center of its upper bar, having piv'otally secured therein the shank of a ring, B, passed through such Serial No. 201.819. (No model.)

eye and riveted to a washer, b. This frame A also has formed to its upper bar, at equal distance from its swivel-eye, pendent eye-lugs a, with which are pivotally coupled the hookbent ends of the Yshaped arms of tongue 0. This tongue 0 is formed of wire by doubling, and at about its middle it is bent to about a rectangle, and its end is curved to lap over the center portion of the lower bar of frame A.

D are the strops,with their eyed ends strung upon the tongue 0 and suspended thereon in lines parallel with the tongue-frame.

The advantage of this device is that a barber can have different strops suspended on a single hook, either side of either one of which he can use for sharpening a razor without interference froni the other strops, and so that when necessary he can readily detach and exchange the strops.

What I claim is The combination, with buckle frame A, provided with swiveled ring B and lugs-a, of the Y'shaped and bent tongue 0, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

THEODORE A. KOCHS.
